You can buy gigabit surge suppression from a lot of places.

I'm not sure why this is a technical question any more: we don't need  
to make our own, you can buy them ready made.

APC discontinued theirs for some reason, which were mostly grounded  
single-port units, but I think that's because they now sell protected  
switches or MOD taps, or something like that.  Probably a better money  
make for them.
